6132 VBoxManage confuses VM names starting with dash character (-) with command line option names xlogger "When playing with VBoxManage I created a VM with name ""--ostype"" (by mistake - there was an error in my shell script that invoked VBoxManage)
I found that I cannot delete this VM with ""unregistervm"". All other VBoxManage commands also failed with the message ""unknown option: --ostype"" when I specified ""--ostype"" as VM name.
Putting the name in various kinds of quotes did not help, so eventually I had to manually edit !VirtualBox.xml to remove the VM.
Apparently, VBoxManage confuses VM names starting with dash character (-) with command line option names. !VirtualBox GUI does not have such problem." defect new minor other VirtualBox 3.1.2 VBoxManage Linux Linux
